“You're a bad person, Ellie," he said without a trace of irony."I'm not bad. The world is bad and I'm just trying to survive in it.”

“Who is it?" I asked teasingly"Bigfoot," Dex answered from his room."What do you want, Mr Foot?""Please, just call me Big."I snorted. "You wish.""You know.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
“You know how I feel about your scars. They only make you more beautiful.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“You know,” he began, voice low and full, “if you were to ever leave me, I’d come looking for you, on every street.” “You promise?” “Always.” And I knew he kept his promises.” ― Karina Halle, On Every Street
“That is what I thought of you, Ellie. Heartless, reckless, selfish, and cruel."He was back to shooting me when my armor was down. I turned my face away from him, not wanting to let him see the hurt in my eyes. He reached up and put his fingers under my chin, bringing my face forward again, forcing me to look at him."Beautiful, sad, wounded, and lost," he continued. "A freak, a work of art, a liar, and a lover."His gaze was starting to eat away at my insides. Razor-blade butterflies whirled in my heart."I hate you, Ellie Watt," he whispered, lips coming closer to mine, "because I still love you after all these years.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“You’re the light in all this madness. You’re my light. I should have been with you...” The thought hit him as his face crumpled in amazement. “Oh God, why am I not with you?”“Because you’re an idiot,” I said.” ― Karina Halle, Lying Season
“He was still a douchecanoe. The douchecanoe who was going to paddle me to safety.” ― Karina Halle, On Demon Wings
“I love you,” he whispered. “From now until the end, under any name you choose.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“It wasn't a goodbye kiss, it was the opposite. It was the start of something that would last forever.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“I love you Perry,” he whispered, mouth moving in my hair. “I love you so fucking much. And I’m losing myself. I’m losing myself to you and I don’t care anymore because there’s never been a better feeling in the whole fucking world. I love you. So much. Too much. Always.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
“I cleared my throat and spoke into his kiss. “Sorry, it’s been a while.”“You should expect to hear the same thing from me in about five minutes,” he murmured.“Five minutes, huh?”“I’ll make it the best five minutes of your life.”I bit his lip, hard, then released him and looked into those intense blues. “Clock’s ticking.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“Do you think because you can’t see my scars that they don’t exist?...Most People have their pain deep inside them, in places no one ever goes. Not until it’s too late.” ― Karina Halle, Sins & Needles
“This is me trying, Perry,” he said softly, the anger being drained of his face. “This is me taking my heart out of my chest and putting the bloody mess in your hands. I can’t give you much more than that.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
“I was head over heels in love with her. No, that didn’t describe it. I was tear my fucking heart out and throw it at her, beg her to take it into hers. I was falling from the greatest heights with no safety net below. I was giving everything of my own life for hers, giving up every inch of my soul so she could wear it proudly. I was a former king on my knees in front of the queen. A jester begging for a chance. I was powerless, helpless and at her mercy.” ― Karina Halle, The Dex-Files
“He backed away from me, clutching the phone to his chest. “What?”“Gimme the phone,” I commanded, holding out my hand.His head dropped solemnly. “I am on a very important call.”“Yes, about me,” I said, reaching for it. “Now give it.”He shrank away and eyed the room anxiously. “Damn, I knew I should have kept a spare roll of duct tape somewhere.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
“I want you to stay with me,” he said. “And that’s the problem. Every time you leave me, I need you a little bit more.” ― Karina Halle, Lying Season
“No matter what happened, he was Dex and I was Perry and that combination only led to trouble.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
“Love is like a thief, it robs you of all thought and logic, and all you have left is a heart that you can only pray is strong enough to survive the rest.” ― Karina Halle, Love, in English
“Perry," he said quietly, his fingers trailing down the side of my face, "you'll never have to save my life. You gave me life. I never lived a single day until the first day I met you.” ― Karina Halle, On Demon Wings
“Who is it?" I asked teasingly"Bigfoot," Dex answered from his room."What do you want, Mr Foot?""Please, just call me Big."I snorted. "You wish.""You know.” ― Karina Halle, Into the Hollow
